York College President Marcia V. Keizs served as a panelist of Historically Black Colleges and Universities’ (HBCU) Presidents during the 100 Black Men of America, Inc. Annual Conference held recently at the Hilton New York Hotel in Manhattan.

Education leaders from a variety of perspectives explored the question of whether there is a continuing relevance for HBCU’s in a society that increasingly questions the relevance of race as a determinant of one’s ability to succeed. The long and storied history of the HBCU is being put under the spotlight for close and sustained examination.
